Stage Manager

Instrumental Theatre Company is seeking a non-union Stage Manager for the world premiere of the Trick of Threes by Annika Andersson.

Synopsis
Katherine reflects on her time in a (fictional) rural American Christian cult and how she fell victim to her mind, family, and society. It’s “Black Swan” meets “Every Brilliant Thing”, relying on magical realism, improvisation, audience interaction, and music to tell a heartbreakingly healing tale. It is a story that asks the audience, “What does it mean to be a victim?” and explores the choices people have when reclaiming their story.
This is not a musical, but it heavily features live music.
